My uncle, who was employed by the L & B at Pilton, would have certainly approved of this book. We still treasure the items of his that he left to us.

Thank you

Just what I was looking for.

New arrival is a BL loco. It is the later type 2 rail or 3 rail model, Southern Region no 1864 limited edition - I think possibly produced by CORGI ? Would appreciate advice on most suitable two rail track please . Not sure if fine or coarse scale wheels, certainly no flange on centre wheels. Thank ...

Happy to oblige, cheeky chappie, -state of play as of 3pm today. 4mm dia axles as per your suggestion.

As all out of sight, the con rods will be 6mm by 14swg flat brass strip fitted in between the two brass spacers on the pins.

Wheel centres will be 70mm so time to work out the chassis assembly

Thanks reply steves.

Hopefully this will work and will be a picture of all the bits that I am starting with. The bell will be replaced with a machined brass copy.

Axles and wheels etc, hopefully later.

I can take some but no idea on how to load them ? I admit to not being computer literate.

Any help/advice appreciated

Thanks
